1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Oh what is going on? Happy Friday morning to you. 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Appreciate you checking out. The show had some fun tonight. 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: Heard from the Mallard militia, some good tweets, fantastic interaction, 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: heard from some old friends, very nice love all that. Okay, 5 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: So I started off the show and I really made 6 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: a discovery tonight, probably for the first time, I just 7 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: finally understood why it happens almost every NFL season where 8 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: the season ends and I'm like, I'm just counting down 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: to the next season, you know what I mean. I 10 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: can't wait for football to get here. Like, oh, man, 11 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: we got the draft, and that gets me energized for 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: the upcoming season. And I'm like, all right, man, look 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: at these draft picks for this team, and man, this 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: team took a step forward, and man, look out for 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: this other squad. And I'm off and running, you know. 16 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: And then I kind of hit a lull. Not that 17 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm not looking forward to the season, it's just the 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: nature of the stories that I typically hear about, and 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: this offseason is no different. If you think about some 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: of the stories that are gonna get a lot of 21 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: attention right now, most of them won't get you excited 22 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: for the actual season, right, So you think about one 23 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: of the big stories that it broke on Thursday is 24 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: that the executive director of the NFL Players Association, Lloyd Howell, 25 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: is now the former executive director of the NFLPA. He 26 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: resigned late Thursday night, and so you're gonna hear about that. 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: The reason, just so you understand why he resigned, One 28 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: of the reasons is that there was a story that 29 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: came out from ESPN, a report that well, he's still 30 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: a paid consultant on a part time basis for a 31 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: group that is seeking minority ownership in NFL franchise. So 32 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: he's the executive director of the Players Association and meanwhile 33 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: he's a consultant for this group that's trying to be 34 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: a minority owner with an NFL franchise. There's player side 35 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: owner side, player side ownership side. You can't be both. 36 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: So that's why Lloyd Howell the main reason he's stepping down, 37 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I think it's time for me to go. 38 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: So you're gonna hear a bunch about that, probably on 39 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: Thursday or on Friday. I mean, and it's not gonna 40 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: get you fired up for the upcoming season whatsoever. You 41 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: might hear something about Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick. I 42 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: talked about that earlier on the show tonight. I think 43 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: they're both competitive to a fault. But none of that 44 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: is gonna get you excited for the upcoming season. Either. 45 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear about the Deshaun Watson contract and possible 46 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: collusion by the NFL and team owners is absolutely collusion. 47 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear about that. That's not gonna get you 48 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: excited for the upcoming season. So the point is, I 49 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: think there comes a time where we start hearing all 50 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: these stories about, you know, NFL related activities. You're gonna 51 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: hear a bunch about second round players holding out, they 52 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: want guaranteed contracts, fully guaranteed second round contracts. It's not 53 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: gonna get you excited for the upcoming season. You're gonna 54 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: hear about Rashie Rice, the Chiefs wide receiver. He finally 55 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: got He finally received his sentence. He was driving almost 56 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty miles per hour, led to a 57 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: multi car pile up. So he gets thirty days in 58 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: jail and a five year probation sentence. He can serve 59 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: that jail time at any point over these next five years, 60 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna hear about that story, and it's gonna do 61 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: nothing for you in terms of the upcoming season, if anything. 62 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: With Rashie Rice. Now that he's received his punishment, the 63 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: NFL can now punish him further. So I guess that 64 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: relates to real football. How many games he'll be suspended for. 65 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: That has a real layer to it. But a lot 66 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: of these stories, I didn't think about it like that, 67 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: and it makes sense, right, Maybe you're like me. The 68 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: NFL schedule is released and I'm like, oh, wow, look 69 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: at all these primetime games and this team scheduling. Whoa 70 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: look at the Lions road schedule. Yikes, that is freaking brutal. 71 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking football, football, football, upcoming season. All that. 72 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: Then the draft roads around, same thing. Wow, look at 73 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: this team, man, this team, I don't know what they're thinking. 74 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: What's the impact of this guy on this squad? Yat 75 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: a real football excited for the season, and then there's 76 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of this it's contract holdouts, it's this guy 77 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: signed for X amount of dollars. Okay, cool, yeah, all right. 78 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: Doesn't do anything for me. And that's why, after looking 79 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: forward to the NFL season for months, I sort of 80 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: hit this lull where I'm not looking forward to the 81 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: season in terms of like counting down the days. I 82 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: just kind of like am floating around, and then it 83 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: sneaks up on me and I'm like, holy cow, we 84 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: got the first game of the year is next week. 85 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: How did that happen? This is how it happens. It's 86 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: the nature of the stories that you keep hearing about, 87 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: and I think you just sort of like loose sight 88 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: of the upcoming NFL season. I never thought of it 89 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: like that, but I really do. I think the nature 90 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: of the stories has a lot to do with it. 91 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: A couple stories that caught my attention that actually do 92 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: get me excited for the upcoming season. So Bengals wide 93 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: receiver Jamar Chase, he said something that I see where 94 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: he's coming from, but I disagree with him. He said 95 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: that someone will have a two thousand yard receiving season 96 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: within the next three years. No one's ever done it before. 97 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: There hasn't been a two thousand yard receiving season in 98 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: NFL history. Jamar Chase came really close. He had a 99 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: fantastic season last year. He had over seventeen hundred receiving yards, 100 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: a lot of touchdown grabs you had. Tyreek Hill came 101 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: pretty close, but I don't think it'll happen. I'll say this, 102 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: if this was a prop bet, would you bet on 103 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: the yes or the no? Over the next three years, 104 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: there will be at least one player that has a 105 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: two thousand yard receiving season. I would bet on the no. 106 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: You can't go wrong betting on the no, right right, 107 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: I'm kidding, but you can't go very wrong betting on 108 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: then you're like no in sports betting. But I would 109 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: take no in this instance because the reason why is 110 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: we always talk about the running back position the same way, 111 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: but not the wide receiver position the way we talk 112 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: about rununning backs. A lot of teams they don't have that, 113 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: like Bell Cow running back. Yeah, there are exceptions like 114 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: the Eagle. Saquon Barkley was amazing last season. Dereck Henry 115 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: was outstanding with the Ravens. Those are the guys. Occasionally 116 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: you'll have the backup spell them here and there, but 117 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: they are by far getting the lion's share of the carries. 118 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, including the playoffs, he had over four hundred 119 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: rushing attempts last season that is a ton, But more 120 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: times than not with running backs, it's running back by 121 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: committee in today's NFL, Right, we don't see that one 122 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: bell cow lead dog running back who's getting the lion's 123 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: share of the carries. We don't see that, and so 124 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,679 Speaker 1: that's why it's harder for running backs to stack huge numbers. 125 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: It's more a committee approach or a two headed monster approach. 126 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: It's becoming more like that with wide receipt if you 127 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: start looking around the league, I mean it's rare that 128 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: you find a team where it's like, all right, they've 129 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: got this one stud and a bunch of really mediocre 130 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: wide receivers around him. So the stud is just getting fed. 131 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: It's target city, throw, throw, throw his way, right, It's 132 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: typically not like that. Look at Jamar Chase on his team. 133 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: He's got T Higgins, another highly paid, very good wide receiver. 134 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: T Higgins had over nine hundred yards receiving last season. 135 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: If T Higgins isn't in Cincinnati, it's a give and 136 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: take type thing. Yeah, that that might take a little 137 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: production away from Jamar Chase because you can roll coverage 138 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: that way. There are a lot of things defensively you 139 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: can do to now try to limit Jamar's effectiveness. But 140 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: when you have Tea on the field, he's gonna get 141 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: his targets, he's gonna get his catches, he's gonna get 142 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: his yards. He's gonna take some of that production away 143 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: from Jamar Chase. It happens often in the NFL. So 144 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: while we talk about running back by committee, it's oftentimes 145 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: wide receiver by committee too. Some of these teams have 146 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: a great wide receiver and they have a tight end 147 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: who takes a lot of targets and a lot of 148 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: production away from the number one wide receiver. So for 149 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: those reasons, I think the odds are better than not 150 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: that we're not going to have a two thousand yard 151 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: receiving season over the next three years. I think it's 152 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: a crazy take. It could certainly happen, but I would 153 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: bet against it happening. I would go no, if that's 154 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: a prop bet that's offered. This is gonna sound silly, 155 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: but honestly, one of the things that gets me, I'm 156 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: not like jumping out of bed like, oh man, I 157 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: can't wait for the NFL season now because of these stories. 158 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: But they at least do more for me to look 159 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: forward to the NFL season. Then a lot of this 160 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: stuff that, oh, second round picks are looking for fully 161 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: guaranteed deals. It's like, all right, cool, yeah, it's that 162 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: does nothing to get me energized for the twenty twenty 163 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: five season to roll around, you know what I mean. 164 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: So while these stories don't captivate me and fully get 165 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: me jump started, right, they do more than a lot 166 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: of these other stories do. It's the alternate uniforms. Yes, 167 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm an NFL sicco. But Tampa Bay I didn't realize this. 168 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: So the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they're gonna break out the 169 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: classic white and creamsickle road uniforms this season. It'll be 170 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: the first time in about fifty years they've worn these things. Now, 171 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: I didn't realize because I'm like, wait a minute, correct 172 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: me if I'm dead wrong, But I swear Baker Mayfield 173 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: and Mike Evans they've worn the creamsickle throwback uniforms recently. Right, Like, 174 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: am I crazy? Am I just dreaming this? 175 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 2: They have? 176 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: But I glossed over it. This is the classic white 177 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: and creamsicle road uniforms. Right, So these are mostly white uniforms. 178 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: The numbers are like the creamsicle flavor and all of that. 179 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: So they're gonna wear them against the Jets in their 180 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: home opener. This is gonna be the fiftieth season the 181 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so they're gonna wear the white creamsicle 182 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: road uniforms against the Jets on September twenty first. Actually, no, 183 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: I get that wrong. I'm dead wrong. That's weird. So 184 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: they're wearing the classic white and creamsicle road uniforms for 185 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: their home opener. That's kind of weird, but whatever, that's 186 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: what they're doing. And also the Falcons. Falcons are gonna 187 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: wear throwback uniforms three times this year, so they're rocking 188 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: the red helmets. It's a sharp look. I love the 189 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: red helmet throwback uniform for the Falcons. They're gonna wear 190 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: it three primetime games. One of them is, let's see, 191 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: it's a Monday night home game against the Bills in 192 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: week six. They got the Thursday night road game against 193 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: Tampa in week fifteen, and then there's a Monday night 194 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: game against the Rams in week seventeen, so they're gonna 195 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: be rocking the red helmets. Apparently they were three and 196 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: oh rocking the red helmets. Last year they were five 197 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: and nine in their other games. But I'll tell you, man, 198 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: it might sound like wow, Brian Slow Newsday, huh jeez, 199 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: you always get that. It's like, no, man, there's plenty 200 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: of stuff to talk about. But that's I guess that's 201 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: kind of how desperate it gets these these time these 202 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: at these times where a lot of the stories about 203 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: the NFL do nothing to get me excited for the 204 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: upcoming NFL season. And I never really thought about that. 205 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: That just it accumulates. If you're an NFL fan, you're 206 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: paying attention to this stuff, and subconsciously, I think it's 207 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: getting you less and less enthused for the upcoming season, 208 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: to the point where I'm just not counting it down. 209 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: I'll see these things on X or whatever. They'll tweet 210 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: it out like hey, ninety five days until kickoff or 211 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: whatever like that, and there just becomes a lull where 212 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I can only hear about second round holdouts, 213 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,599 Speaker 1: the executive director of the Players Association resigning. You know, 214 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: I can only hear about this stuff so much before 215 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm just yawning and like say, this does nothing for 216 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: me as far as the upcoming season is concerned. I 217 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: never thought about it like that until now, but I'm 218 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: sure there are some of you listening that probably feel 219 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: the exact same way.

Okay, So we've got Coop Scoops 224 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: coming up pretty soon. And also I saw a list. 225 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: I saw a column in terms of overrated and underrated teams, 226 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to throw throw out what some 227 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: of this writer was talking about. I agree with some stuff, 228 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: disagree with other things, but something to keep on your radar. 229 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: We'll compare notes coming up.

But uh, is 247 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: it okay to let you let the people know about 248 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: Rick Ross and you? Is that alright? Lorena? 249 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I definitely have a thing for Rick Ross. 250 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: For sure have a thing for Rick Ross. 251 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 5: I could also get it. 252 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: Okay, nice, very nice? I thought, Uh, you meant Jeff 253 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: Ross the roast master. 254 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 5: I don't even know who that is. 255 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: Oh, he's so good at roasting. He's like the main 256 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: guy in every roast beef. But this is a roast, 257 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: you know, when they're just like, you know, like the 258 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: Tom Brady roast and everybody's talking trash about Tom Brady. Yeah, 259 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: they're mean on purpose, and then they say something very 260 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: nice at the very end like it undoes all the 261 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: mean things. But Jeff Ross, he's the roast master. But 262 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: I doubt you have him in the Rick Ross category. 263 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 5: Now let me go look him up. 264 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty sure Coop knows. Yeah, but very nice. Well, 265 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: love for Rick Ross over there from Lorena. Very good, 266 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: very good. Okay, so we got Coop scoops coming up, 267 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: and just about five minutes from now, I'll get to 268 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: the militia here in a second, if anybody wants to 269 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: check in. But I saw this list on the Athletic 270 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: Mike Jones put this list together of who he thinks 271 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: are four overrated NFL teams this season and who are 272 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: four underrated teams in the NFL this season. So his 273 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: list for the overrated teams, he has the Bills, the 274 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, the Lions, and the Bengals. Now I 275 00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: would disagree with his Bengals selection there for these reasons. 276 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: Oh wow, we got a lot of the Oh holy cow, 277 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: the militias are lining up. We got to power through 278 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: some of these in a second. Okay, I'll be quick. 279 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: I disagree with him putting the Bengals on the underrated 280 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: list just because, listen, people struggle with this all the time. 281 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: Like to be a candidate to be overrated, people have 282 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: to be talking you up. They have to be waxing, poetic. 283 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 1: Who is saying, hey, look out for the Bengals man 284 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: their sucky defense and whatever they're doing with Shamar Stewart 285 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: over there, not signing their first round rookie, who was 286 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: talking about maybe going back to school at Texas A 287 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: and M look out for the Bengals. Who's saying that. 288 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: No one is saying that. So they're not a good 289 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: candidate to be overrated. Now the other three are good candidates. Bills, Niners, Lions. 290 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: I hear a lot of positive comments about those teams. 291 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 6: Now. 292 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: The Lions have been doubted a decent amount. Their road 293 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: schedule is brutal. Their schedule overall is really really tough. 294 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: So I have heard some some skeptics, but there are believers. 295 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: I hear a lot of positivity about the Niners because 296 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: they have a cake schedule, and of course a lot 297 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: of positivity about the Bills. Of those teams, who do 298 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: you think is going to turn out to be overrated? 299 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: I would say it's the Niners. The Niners have a 300 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: lot of turnover, They lost a lot of defensive players, 301 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: a lot of contributors. You know, Trent Williams, he only 302 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: played ten games last season. They're left tackle. Christian mccaffery's 303 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: supposed to be back and looking great, but he only 304 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: played four games last season. Significant injury. When you're talking 305 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: like achilles tendonitis, that's a serious deal. So I just 306 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: don't I don't believe in the Niners. They have a 307 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: cake schedule, should win a bunch of games, but I 308 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: think they're going to be fools gold. I just I 309 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: don't think the roster is nearly as good as it 310 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: was their GM. John Lynch said, hey, we had to 311 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: get younger and a little bit cheaper. Yeah, because you're 312 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: paying Brock Purty huge money, Like they gotta do that. Sure, 313 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: I just don't think Brock Purdy is a guy who 314 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: can compensate for a weaker roster. It's a good quarterback, 315 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: but he's not a dude that's just going to say, hey, 316 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: we've got like a second rate right tackle, or we've 317 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: got a you know, a second rate wide receiver, cheaper here, 318 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 1: cheaper there. That's okay, I got you. I don't think 319 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: he's that guy. 320 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 6: Now. 321 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: The underrated portion of this and I'll get to the 322 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: militia real fast. Underrated. He's got Chargers, Cowboys, Cardinals, Jags. 323 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: He says, hey, Leam Cohen's over that. Maybe he can 324 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: do for Trevor Lawrence what he did for Baker Mayfield 325 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: and Tampa. That's the reasoning they went out and got 326 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: Travis Hunter. You know, I like the Cardinals on this list. Myself, 327 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: I've gone out. It's my curveball prediction. I have the 328 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: Cardinals winning the NFC West. I just think off defensively, 329 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: pretty decent offensive line, Marvin Harrison Junior if he takes 330 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: a big step forward, love Trey McBride, fantastic tight end. 331 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is a good quarterback. I think Kyler Murray is. 332 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: You tell me Brock Purty is way better than Kyler Murray, 333 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: and I'll say, no, you're wrong. I think he's way 334 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: better than Kyler Murray. I think they're very, very comparable. 335 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: You give Kyler Murray what Brock Purty enjoyed supporting cast 336 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: Wise the last two seasons. Kyler Murray is putting up 337 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: big numbers. You play Brock Purty with Arizona the last 338 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: couple of years. I don't think Brock party is putting 339 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: up the same numbers. I just don't. I think Kyler 340 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: Murray's good enough. And I think what they've done defensively, 341 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: like some of their draft picks, some of their free 342 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: agent moves. Jonathan Gannon, you know, doubled their win total 343 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: over the last two years. I think the Cardinals arrow 344 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: is still pointed up. I think that's a good selection. Underrated. 345 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: All right, let me go to the phones. Here, the 346 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: militia is lining up. I think we've got Chris in Massachusetts. 347 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: All Star take real quick, Chris, you're on Fox Sports Radio. 348 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: What's up? 349 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 6: Yeah? 350 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 7: And I'll be fat because I know you got a lineup. 351 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 6: But I loved Brian. 352 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 8: I love your takes now as great as Ben's just kidding, 353 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 8: but I do love your takes. But the cake earlier 354 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 8: when I got in the car about the All Star 355 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 8: Game with people dropping out, But when. 356 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 7: I was young, a young boy. I'm fifty five, so 357 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 7: we love the All Star Game. The reason I love 358 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 7: the All Tar Game because you never saw the nl 359 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 7: NL teams and that was what made it special. Yeah, 360 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 7: And what was great Gary Queen used to have these 361 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 7: helmets in their ice cream and their Sunday I'd always 362 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 7: go out to Marc and Brewers, the Cincinnati Reds, the 363 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 7: Red Sox of course, and it. 364 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 8: Just it's nostalgia for me. 365 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 9: Now it's not there. 366 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 8: And lastly, Brock Colet, who was a Red Sox in 367 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 8: utility infielder, made the All Star Game a few years 368 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 8: back and that was the joke of the town here. 369 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 10: Wow. 370 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, good call, Chris, good stuff. Appreciate that. Yeah, 371 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: I remember the old school, like ice cream helmets. I 372 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: loved collecting those things for sure. And you're right, it's 373 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: changed so much. It used to be really really special 374 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: because this was before interleague play. This was the only 375 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,479 Speaker 1: time you would see outside of the World Series al 376 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: players play against NL players and listen, it's changed. I 377 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: like interleague play, but that's one of the drawbacks is 378 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: you don't have that special All Star feel anymore. And 379 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: a lot of things have changed. You've got a million 380 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: channels now, you had like three way back in the day, 381 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: and so for baseball to be on it was a 382 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: big deal. Things have changed, you know, So it happens. 383 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: Let me go to Mark in the North End. Okay, interesting, Mark, 384 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: you're on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on? 385 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 6: Hey, Brian how's it going good, Bud? So earlier you 386 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 6: mentioned in your last segment how as soon as football 387 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 6: and you're doing the countdown for the next season to start, right, 388 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 6: Uh huh? 389 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 11: Okay? 390 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 6: Why is it that you know, all these people that 391 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 6: loved football so much and miss the fellow as soon 392 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 6: as it's over. They can't get enough football? The UFL 393 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 6: stops and there's nobody at these games, like not like 394 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 6: the standard, like almost completely empty. Where are all the 395 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 6: people that love football so much? 396 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: Well, they love the NFL, you know, they love college football. 397 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: They don't love the UFL. That would be like saying 398 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: for anyone who loves music like you love music, and uh, 399 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: what's what? 400 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 2: What? 401 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: What genre of music do you like the most? 402 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 9: Mark? 403 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 6: I have a wide genre actually, okay, I don't like 404 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 6: it's like heavy metal pretty much. 405 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: Oh you're killing me, Mark, that's my go to it. Okay, Well, 406 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: what are you no? It's okay, it's all right. We 407 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: still cater to the non heavy metal folk. We just 408 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: judge them behind their back, Loren. That's what we do. 409 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: That's what we do. What Mark was Okay, so you're 410 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: a rock guy. What are you into? 411 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 6: I mean, I love I love you know what today's 412 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 6: music sucks. To be honest with you, I'm a seventy 413 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 6: eight nineties guy. 414 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: Okay, in rock or what like. It's a wide run. 415 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 6: I like all these disco, hip hop rap okay, but 416 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 6: of those years not now? 417 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, that's fine, Okay. So imagine it 418 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: like you're this music lover, you know what I mean, 419 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: and you can see a legendary rapper, you can see whatever, 420 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: the main dude from that era, and you're in concert, 421 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you could see right 422 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: after that guy one of the worst rappers in town. 423 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: It's not the same thing. It's not the same product. 424 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: Like the NFL is the great rapper, the UFL is 425 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: the sad like disaster of an up and coming rapper. 426 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: There's a clear difference. It's not just yeah, I hear 427 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: what you're saying. It's not just where football junkies put 428 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: anything in front of us and we're gonna eat it up. 429 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: It's not like that. 430 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 6: With that being said, how long do you give the UFL? 431 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 10: Well? 432 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: I hope it sticks around, man. I love this stories. 433 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: I love that those dudes are trying to, you know, 434 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: keep their dream alive and maybe make it to the NFL. 435 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 6: But to get to the NFL, yeah, they they had. 436 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: Like the Lions Kicker made it, you know. There They're 437 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: gonna be a couple of guys here and there that 438 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: make it to the NFL. But it's not going to 439 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: be this viable money making product. And it always comes 440 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: back to that. So welfully they can still make it, 441 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: but the days might be numbered. Man, gotta make a buck. 442 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 6: The NFL doesn't have a hand in that, do they. 443 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not positive. I don't think so, but 444 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: I can't tell you for sure, Mark, I'm not positive. 445 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 6: About them, the XFL and the USFL. 446 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: Right like, if it was say like the g League 447 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: of the NBA, if this was an NFL product, then yeah, 448 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: it's going to be around. If they want it to 449 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: be sort of like a feeder or a minor league, 450 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: then yeah it would. It'd have a chance. 451 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 6: But one that asked the question because I lean forwards 452 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 6: more the NHL being the greatest game on Earth. But 453 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 6: that's just my opinion. 454 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: What All Star or just game in general. 455 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 6: The NHL just hockey in general, okay, country, And I 456 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 6: don't think nothing beats playoff hockey. Anything beats playoff hockey. 457 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: Well, hey, man, if that's your cup of tea, that's fine. 458 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: I mean you don't like heavy metal, Mark, so your 459 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: credentials are shaky at best. I gotta be honest with you. 460 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 6: You know I could deal with I read something. 461 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: Okay, that's good. That's better than none. Well, good stuff. 462 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate talking to you, Mark.

I promise you 679 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: a one minute take. So this is it. Put the 680 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: start the clock right now. So a Chargers wide receiver 681 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: Mike Williams he's decided to retire after eight NFL seasons. 682 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: He walks away at the age of thirty, and listen, 683 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: this isn't I think what we like a scarecrow topic. 684 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm not creating something just to you know, go back 685 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: and forth with air or something. But this happens quite 686 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: a bit. I don't think it's happening right now. But 687 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,479 Speaker 1: when someone leaves the game at like thirty years old, 688 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people be like, is this gonna be 689 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: the norm? Is this the way it always goes? No, man, like, 690 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: this is not gonna become the norm. There're gonna be 691 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: some players that retire early. Mike Williams was banged up 692 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 1: quite a bit, and there're gonna be some players here 693 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: and there that retire the game early but are from 694 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 1: the game early. But I don't think this is gonna 695 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: be a thing where players like in Droves are gonna 696 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: be retiring early. I think it's just just a casual case, 697 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: spike case thing. Some dudes walk away early, and more 698 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: power to him, make your money. Depending on your position, 699 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: you walk away good quality of life for better quality 700 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: of life, not as many injuries. So I hope it 701 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 1: works out for Mike Williams but steps away after eight years. 702 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: All right, that was quick, about a minute right there 703 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: on the nose. Let's go fast. Let's go to Ned 704 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. I got to take on Lillard here, only 705 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: a couple of minutes here, Ned, But try to go 706 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: quickly for us, if you would, Bud. 707 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, can you break down Damian Lellard's new contract 708 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 6: going back to Portland from Milwaukee. 709 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just three years, forty two million bucks for 710 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: the Blazers, and I believe that offsets the money that 711 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: he's due from the Bucks, like they wouldn't be on 712 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: the hook for that much money. They're on the hook 713 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: for the rest of it though, But. 714 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 9: He does have to sit out the first year due 715 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 9: to the injury. 716 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: Though, right, Yeah, yeah, he won't be active for that 717 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: first year rehab it. 718 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 6: So technically speaking, you're getting paid by both both team. 719 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 1: Still, no, I think it offset I okay, Yeah. What 720 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: I read like a couple of weeks ago was that 721 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: the Bucks wouldn't have to pay what he earns in 722 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: another contract from another team. So I believe they're off 723 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 1: the hook for forty two million bucks of the whatever 724 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: like one thirteen that they owe them. I believe that's 725 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: the way it breaks down. Yeah. 726 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 9: Wow, that's crazy. Oh thanks, thanks a lot for breaking 727 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 9: that down for me. 728 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: You got it, ned, good stuff, man.

You're talking earlier about 731 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 9: the two thousand yards receiver. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not 732 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 9: going to happen. I got billions of dollars on that one, brother, 733 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 9: Because the NFL keeps shortening the field, They're going to 734 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 9: be doing half court here for too long. You know 735 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 9: what I mean. 736 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: You know that's a good point, right, the kickoffs, the 737 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 1: touchbacks come back to the thirty five now, so yeah, 738 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: I mean that adds up.
